Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the repository's current custom policy definitions and the Azure Policy community repository, then clarify whether transfer or synchronization is intended. Done should mean an agreed approach that keeps the relevant definitions discoverable and up to date.

Policy Definitions

Problem Statement

I see a lot of good potential custom policy definitions and initiatives I would want to use in my organization.
Would it be possible to also commit those definitions to the Azure Policy community repository?

It would also automatically make them discoverable when leveraging AzAdvertizer. It detects changes to the community repository and allows us to search and explore the custom policies shared by the community. I think your custom policies could benefit a lot of other people that are not using AzPolicyFactory.

Proposed Solution

Transfer your custom policies over to the community repository or have some sort of sync process to keep the 2 repositories in sync whenever you update your custom policies.
